Everyone has a different reason for wanting to use molasses, especially for that added jolt of 750mg of potassium. Me? I’ve been using it successfully to avoid extreme anemia and also for old-fashioned ginger cookies which I adore. On the Wholesome Sweeteners site, they offer up one by Chef Malika Ameen, which I’ve included below.There’s a decent jolt of iron in the Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Molasses at 15%. I was at the docs again yesterday and so far I’ve been avoiding those specialized iron shots. A tablespoon away seems to be doing the trick. This molasses does have a strong taste, but that’s to be expected with blackstrap molasses.I’m finding that it’s not only good for iron intake, but also a nice little energy booster. Cookies not so much so, but good for an emotional boost. I do like the fact that it’s Fairtrade Certified in addition to being USDA certified. It’s so much better than having to take pills or, worse yet, get shots.Chewy Ginger Cookies By Chef Malika AmeenINGREDIENTS:1 cup all-purpose flour1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp sea salt1/2 tsp ground Vietnamese cinnamon1/4 tsp ground ginger1 tsp ground cardamom1/4 tsp ground white pepper1/4 tsp Fairtrade cocoa powder3/4 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Sugar2 tbsp Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Light Brown Sugar2 tsp orange zest5 tbsp melted butter at room temperature, preferably European style1 Cage-free organic egg white1 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger2 tbsp Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Molasses1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract1/4 tsp Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Sugar, for rollingDirections:In a bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt, spices and cocoa.

Container came apparently sealed but with molasses under the cap. Could not be sure that the inner seal was intact, or if the cap was contaminated with syrup after the bottle was sealed. Sure looks like the bottle leaked around the seal. Either way, very disappointed in the quality control.
